Chapter 111 People from the Frost Cold Sect?
Chu Luobai looked at Qiu Lin with an exceptionally serious expression.
"This is unexpected. If you come with me, I can't guarantee your safety."
"I know, senior sister, but I have reasons why I have to stay here."
Qiu Lin's face was serious, and his eyes were filled with an unprecedented sincerity.
After a moment of contemplation, Chu Luobai slowly spoke.
"In that case, I respect your decision. But in return, in all subsequent actions, you must prioritize my orders."
"If I find out that you have acted on your own, I will immediately send you back to the sect, understand?"
"clear."
Qiu Linzheng nodded.
“Then I’ll take Nan Yue first. I’ll take these two worms back to the sect. Leave clues when you investigate.”
Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Zhao Jingren did not intend to say anything more.
He raised his hand and put the two worms, which had been broken into four sections, into his storage ring, gesturing for Nan Yue to stand behind him.
"Be careful, I will definitely come with people within three days at the latest."
After saying that, Zhao Jingren flew off on his sword towards the direction of the Qingyun Sword Sect.
After seeing the person off, Chu Luobai turned to look at Qiu Lin.
"Tell me, what did you find that you insist on staying with me?"
Qiu Lin scratched his head, his eyes somewhat unfocused.
"As expected, I couldn't hide it from my senior sister."
He walked over to the bodies of the two people who had become completely desiccated corpses because the demonic insects had left their bodies.
"The patterns on the hems of their clothes are the logo of the Frost Frost Sect, which is very close to my hometown."
"I'm worried about my loved ones."
Frost Sect?
Chu Luobai frowned; she vaguely remembered the name.
It is considered the sect closest to the Southern Frontier in Qingzhou, and has close ties with various families in the Southern Frontier.
It is a sect with a very unique positioning.
Although this sect is not strong in combat, it has good relations with other major sects because it sits in a position similar to an 'intermediary'.
Almost no sect would choose to antagonize it.
In such a sect, how could two cultivators be infected by the Demonic Language Worm...?
"What exactly are those elders of the Frost Frost Sect doing?"
Chu Luobai raised his hand and thoroughly searched the two of them. Apart from some common items that cultivators usually carry, there was nothing else unusual.
The Demon Whisper Bug is a special kind of insect. Unlike humans, it does not leave a trace or require any special medium.
Once a cultivator is infected, his spiritual sea will be completely occupied by this demonic insect.
At the same time, the Demon Language Insects will also use his spiritual sea as a nest, constantly producing offspring, which will then infect other people.
Whether it's a person or an insect, the less they need, the fewer clues they will leave behind.
If Qiu Lin hadn't recognized the Frost Cold Sect's symbol, this lead would probably have gone cold.
"From this location to the Frost Frost Sect, there are about a dozen well-known sects, two of which are reclusive sects that are not open to the public."
"We should probably start with these two sects."
Chu Luobai gently tapped the edge of the map with his right hand and pondered.
"Hidden sects? Since the Demon Language Worms are contagious, shouldn't we start with the sects where people interact the most?"
Qiu Lin asked, puzzled.
Chu Luobai shook his head slightly and pointed to one of the places called Black Stone Sect.
“Not all hidden sects are strong in combat. The Black Stone Sect is one of them. Its overall strength is even below that of the Frost Frost Sect.”
"These reclusive sects are unwilling to communicate with the outside world for various reasons. With the rampant spread of the Demon Language Insects, these sects are very likely to become insect nests."
"The insect hive..."
The thought of an entire sect being parasitized by those insane, twisted, disgusting worms is unbearable.
Qiu Lin couldn't help but hug his arms and shiver.
"Let's go to Blackstone Sect first."
The flames formed from spiritual energy instantly engulfed the two corpses on the ground.
The scorching heat, accompanied by the foul smell of burning corpses, wafted through the air.
Chu Luobai drew her sword and beckoned to Qiu Lin.
the other side.
Qingyun Sword Sect, Wenling Peak.
"Are you really sure you want to come down the mountain?"
Chu Wang leaned against the tree, casually tearing off a green branch with leaves and playing with it absentmindedly.
"I've thought it through. I have to face my inner demons eventually. I don't want to hide on this Spirit Inquiry Peak for the rest of my life and end up like Xiao Xuancheng."
Zu Yang lowered his head, his silver-white hair slipping down his shoulders.
A hint of guilt flashed in her originally calm and composed eyes.
"I did make a mistake back then, but I wasn't the one who paid the price..."
“I’ve been hiding in this mountain, trying to escape the guilt in my heart.”
“If I don’t do something, I’ll be stuck here for the rest of my life.”
"What I should do is atone for my sins. Even if I can't atone completely, at least I should try..."
Chu Wang listened quietly, continuing to casually toy with the green branch in his hand.
"You still don't understand that the essence of seeking immortality and enlightenment is self-interest."
"Rushing to atone for your sins will only plunge you into another abyss."
"No one will judge you, and no one can forgive you."
Zu Yang raised his head and looked at the distant mountain peaks shrouded in clouds and mist. In a daze, the figures of Mu Yurou and Chu Luobai flashed before him.
Mu Yurou's face is nine-tenths similar to Lin Wenxue's, and Chu Luobai's personality is also the same as Lin Wenxue's.
When these two appeared in front of him, if Chu Wang hadn't intervened to suppress them, he would have almost been possessed by the inner demons.
Reflecting on the events of the past few days, he no longer wished to remain on Wenling Peak.
"At least do some things that I can do."
"If I could have a sudden enlightenment, perhaps my cultivation level could catch up with yours, Master."
Zu Yang chuckled.
"I think you've been hanging out with that kid Zhao Jingren for too long, and you've started saying things you shouldn't."
"Go if you want to, I won't stop you."
"A storm is brewing; I have a feeling that something big is about to happen."
After Chu Wang finished speaking, he stood up nimbly and flicked the fallen leaves off his clothes.
"Once you've made up your mind, head down the mountain. Remember to ask Zhao Jingren to come with you. I'm going back to my cave to do some divination."
After saying that, Chu Wang's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
"I have already informed Zhao..."
Zu Yang had only spoken halfway when he discovered that his master had vanished without a trace.
He could only silently swallow the rest of his sentence.
Meanwhile, Zhao Jingren was also hurrying back with Nan Yue on his sword.
Nan Yue was both excited and nervous about flying on a sword for the first time, and her body swayed slightly.
She reached out and grabbed Zhao Jingren's robe, trying to maintain her balance and create as much distance as possible between herself and her senior brother.
"Senior Zhao, is Senior Sister Chu in any danger on her journey?"
Based solely on Chu Luobai's description, she still had some difficulty understanding the danger posed by the Demon Language Insect.
"There's nothing we can do about the danger; some things just have to be done by someone."
Zhao Jingren lowered his eyes slightly, constantly estimating which talisman cultivation sects would be able to arrive the fastest.
